Hi Geketa,

Thanks for adding part of Sammy's post.

Here's a real treat for you. We had a great singing Rabbi called Rabbi Shlomo Carlibach. I found his earliest know video with the song "Am Yisrael Chai". The "People/Nation of Israel Live".

And our Israeli nightingale Ofra Chaza that tragically dies a few years ago. Her song is titled "Chai" Alive. She performed this song on a Israeli Air Force base.

Shalom,

Peter

Hi Geketa,

I figured we can't have Ofra Chaza without one of her most famous songs. Yerushalyim Shel Zahav - Jerusalem Of Gold. Written by Naomi Shemer one of Israel's great talents that died a few years ago from cancer.

Hi Peter,

You certainly know how to make a Jewish girl smile. I love the dancing rabbi and who would not love Ofra Chava her voice sounds like she is an angel. What a loss she was to the music world and Israel.

 I don't know if you know this or not but she sang songs in the "Price of Egypt", a cartoon movie about Moshe several years ago. That movie was a big hit here in the Us with the children and I as an adult loved it too. My Jeremiah said," momma I know that voice", as soon as he heard the video start and of course he dragged out the movie and watched it.

Todah for the great videos !

Shalom,

Geketa

Hi Geketa,

Glad you enjoyed Shlomo Carlebach. He was quite an amazing individual and succeeded in capturing many with his original songs.

Just as an aside. One of my brother-in-laws's son's-in-law (he has 4 of em) did a documentary on Shlomo Carlebach that was quite successful. It premiered last year. I'll try and get a link for you to watch. 

Ofra was one of the greatest singers Israel ever had. Her tragic death was a blow to all Israelis and she is sorely missed. I heard she did a voice over but never heard or watched it. I'll see if I can get a copy for my granddaughters.

Shalom,

Peter
